Dorian's Primary Marketable Attributes

POWER

PROTECTION
  • As an offensive guard, one of Dorian’s most important jobs is to protect the quarterback. NFL fans across the country understand this association, and the value of an offensive lineman. We will market Dorian to companies whose products are designed for protection.
FINISHER
